Girls and boys, what day is it?  That’s right: Gym Day.  And with all the drama of a covert operation, we rolled out at 8:25 am sharp—no fanfare, no witnesses, no one stopping us to ask, “Are you sure you … Continue reading →

Another Busy Day Going Here And There!

Posted on Friday, February 20, 2026 by Paul

Today’s agenda: Maximum relaxation—with one tiny plot twist.  I’ve got a 2:00 pm doctor appointment (because nothing says “self-care” like medical paperwork).  It’s dinner with Robin at a local Mexican restaurant… exact location TBD based on vibes, hunger level, and … Continue reading →
